Hello, I am writing this blog cuz' of Codeforces Round 998 (Div. 3) contest.

I received a message saying that my attempts were ignored. Is that happened because I didn't use a template? Also, Sunnat and khba can confirm that I solved the contest myself, as they were watching me during the contest, and I have proof that I’ve been practicing problems in range 1700-2000 over the last few months.

Recently, I started solving probems without a template, and you can even check my attempts. If I had used a template in the contest, my attempts wouldn’t have been ignored, because sandwich, ashays solved problem E (301857660 and 301838961) exactly like me 301873557, but they were saved by their template. I dont wanna become a cheater from nowhere, thats the first time im writing contest without template, and didnt pass plag check. Should i do contests only with template these days? if i dont ill become a cheater?

see sandwich's or maybe ashays's submission, their submission's main part is exaclty same like mine, but their template saved him. so if i would write it with template that has ~400 lines, i would pass plag check?

please pay attention on this and dont mark me as a cheater Vladosiya and MikeMirzayanov!!
